At last the great day arrived-29th October,
l7o7. Here it is not necessary to describe the
success of the composer, the enthusiasm, the
delirium. the furors all the details of this IN
comparable evening" that marks, one can say.
a date in the history of art the birth OF chef
doeuvrs, such a as has not yet seen It's
equal. The introduction of the first act, the
duel-scene, the recitative of Donna Anna her
duet with Ottavio puts the public lmnedi-
ately in emotion and profound trouble and the
following pages only complete their enthusiasm
and admiration. The air of Elvira, that of
Leporello, the two duets of Zerllna with
Massetto and Don juan the trio of the masks,
the incompatible finale, in fact all the pages of
this marvellous work brought forth the acclama-
tons and applause of the entire audience, cleo
trifed by the wondrous beauties. France has
also wished to show her admiration for Mozart
and his chef oeuvre. Eighty-fve years after
the first appearance of Don Juan on the French
stage, twice century old, our opera is about TO
give an imposing representation, with a brill
liant homage to its author. On this occasion,
the management of the theatre has opened in
the library an exposition of objects of all de-
scription, referring TO Mozart and his work.
They have done everything possible to celebrate
the anniversary of the immortal master who is
the most astonishing and brilliant personifca-
ton in the musical art.

were at the prison before noon to the pris-
oner. and they had long conference. When
the time came for parting. both Harper and his
wife broke down completely. Harper cried like
a child for several minutes. Mrs Harper and
the party returned to Cincinnati this evening.
1t is understood Harper will be allowed to re-
tain his mustache and long hair for the present,
in the expectation that he will be returned to
Cincinnati to testify in the other Fidel-
ity cases. It has not been decided, as
yet. what will be the occupation of
the prisoner. Col A. G. Patton, a former
friend Of his, who is a contractor at the prison,
called to-day and asked that he be allowed to go
on his contract sort of check clerk in
which the labor is very light There is some
question as to whether a United States prisoner
can be used on State contract. hence nothing
definite will be done for the present. The SEN
tence of Harper is only for confinement, and
does not imply that he shall labor except it be-
from choice.
